Chapter 365 What a Humiliating Gaze
Chloe quickly waved her hand. “No, I can get a ride.”
She then doubled the fee again. After waiting for ten minutes, it still yielded the same result. She
anxiously used another platform, but the results were still nil.
Harold pretended to be helpless. “It’s very late now and this house is pretty remote. It’s normal that you
didn’t get a cab. Even if you do, it’ll be dangerous if you bump into a wicked driver. He may try to rob
you or take liberties with you. How dangerous is that?!”
Chloe shuddered before she recalled the news of women being harmed after riding in a cab alone at
night… At last, she decided to spend the night. She stayed on the same floor as Joseph but in different
rooms.
She stuck to her room. After washing up, she lay in bed and texted Icarus. She thought he would be
asleep by now but he called her.
“Chloe, why didn’t you answer my video call? Are you still busy at the office?”
“No… I was celebrating an elder’s birthday.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll go with you next time when my legs have healed.”
Chloe smiled awkwardly and changed the topic.
‘Let Icarus come to the Whitman family with me? That would be treading a dangerous path.’
Before the call ended, she recalled Joseph’s words.

“Chloe, go to bed if you’re sleepy. Goodnight,” he said gently and considerately, sensing that something
was on her mind.
“Okay, goodnight.”
She would question him about the accident, but she needed to get her facts straight before that. She
remembered Icarus’ car plate number. If she logged into the traffic accident database, she could obtain
records of the accident.
Many things happened one after another over the past few days. First, Chloe had to go to the jewelry
store to retrieve the jewelry she had pawned off the other day. She decided to resolve those two issues
when she got back tomorrow.
Nestling in bed, she planned her schedule. Suddenly, someone opened the door in the dark, letting in a
ray of light from outside. Startled, she quickly sat up. “Who is it?”
The man stood there against the light, his figure tall and strong. His slender eyes were filled with
gloominess. As he stared at the person in bed, his expression was unfathomable.
Chloe used the blanket to firmly cover her body. “How did you get in? I locked the door.”
“Is this your house?”
“No.”
“So is it very difficult for me to get a backup key?”
Besides, Harold had purposely thrown it his way.
Chloe was stunned before she flared up in rage. “You can’t barge in at will even if this is your house”
Joseph ignored her interrogation and put his phone on the bedside cabinet. He then took off his
bathrobe and naturally pushed the blanket aside to get into bed. He pulled her into his arms and slept
in the same bed as her
Chloe’s body stiffened, and her face was burning hot She could feel that he wore nothing else but his
underwear. In comparison to the two times they had sex in agitation previously, this filled her with more
helplessness and awkwardness. She pressed her hands against his chest and tried her best to
distance herself from him.
“Get out now. If not, I’m going to call Grandpa
“I don’t have a blanket in my room. onsense! I saw one just now.
“Grandpa took it away.”
Chloe pursed her lips. “It isn’t cold today. It’s fine to sleep without a blanket for one night.”
He was strong and healthy. Even if he caught a cold, it was none of her business.
Joseph’s hands stiffened around her waist. His eyes turned even colder “Are you sure this is the tone
you want to take with me?“
Chloe laughed out of anger. “We’re no longer a married couple. You barged into my room but are
prohibiting me from resisting”

harsh.
“Would you willingly accept if it were Icarus or Noah lying here beside you instead of me? Chloe, you
tried all means to sleep with me back then. Why are you pretending to be pure now? You were so
eager to throw yourself into Icarus’ embrace after you broke up with me. Now, you’ve even hooked up
with Noah Why are you so fickle?”
After that, Chloe felt a wave of cold hit her. Her pajamas were torn off, and large parts of her body were
exposed Feeling frantic, she wanted to use a blanket to cover her body. However, Joseph did not grant
her wish. He snatched the blanket and stared at her naked body condescendingly.
His gaze was extremely humiliating.
Chloe’s anger topped her humiliation. She met his gaze and coldly demanded, “Are you done?”
Joseph’s anger subsided slightly at first but his eyes turned red when she behaved so brazenly. He
gripped her cheeks as if he wanted to crush her jaw. He said maliciously, “Why are you so shameless?”
‘She doesn’t feel any shame when I’m seeing all of her. Did she treat other men this way when I wasn’t
around?’
“Yes, I’m a shameless woman. What’s the big deal? Are you satisfied now? You just want to see me
like this, right?” Chloe’s eyes turned red but she shed no tears. “And you want to keep forcing yourself
on me, don’t you?”
